An integrated model of municipal waste management of the Czech Republic was developed as a balanced network model for a set of municipal solid waste (MSW) sources (mostly municipalities) connected with a set of chosen waste treatment facilities processing their waste. The model involves composting, energy utilisation, material recycling, and land-filling. It is implemented as a combination of f...

The biodegradation module of a simulation program for municipal solid waste landfills (MODUELO) was developed. The biodegradation module carries out the balance of organic material starting with the results of the hydrologic simulation and the waste composition. It simulates the biologic reactions of hydrolysis of solids and the gasification of the dissolved biodegradable material. The results ...
